It can be very exciting to expose oneself to all of the 2.0 tools available. It is even more inspiring when they are, for the most part, so easy to use as so FREE! This said, I find Michael Stephen's advice in "Web 2.0 and You" in December 2007's American Libraries both encouraging and grounding.
Breifly, he encourages libraries to use these tools in a selective and thoughtful manner. Do not use the tool simply for the sake of using it; be sure to think about the purpose of the project and determine the best execution. The work should be well done and fit seamlessly into the existing structure rather than slap dash and messy.
All said, he encourages us to do exactly what we are doing right now in conjunction with 23 Things on a Stick: "Discover. Play. Participate."
